In memory of our brother and son, Robert Bagnell, who died moments after being tasered by police in Vancouver, British Columbia on June 23, 2004. Bob was the 7th Canadian to die and the 110th in North America.
Excited-delirium is onto something very important: Postmortem diagnosis of ventricular fibrillation
But don't stop there - be sure to go back to the top and read it all at www.excited-delirium.com
The day is coming when the owner of www.excited-delirium.com (and others who have not been paid off by Taser International) will be called to give some truly independent expert witness testimony.

At the 2005 Arizona Press Club Awards, Mr. Anglen won first place in the Investigative reporting category. He was the recipient of the Don Bolles Award for his report entitled "Taser tied to 'independent' study that backs stun gun'. “As part of an extraordinarily thorough investigation of Taser International, Anglen uncovered ‘smoking gun’ documents that showed the manufacturer was heavily involved in the key study that purported the devices are safe. Anglen also uncovered conflicts of interest and documented wide-spread problems with Taser safety — a matter of national and international public interest.”
In 2006, Mr. Anglen was a runner up for the Arizona Press Club's Virg Hill Journalist of the Year award. Peter Bhatia of The Oregonian wrote “Robert Anglen is an investigative reporter, pure and simple. Clearly, he is a reporter who, once he sinks his teeth into something, stays with it until the story is done. His ongoing work around the company that makes Tasers speaks to that."

I'm just a humble blogger and I certainly wouldn't make a good 'expert' witness.
But in the course of my research I have stumbled across some really interesting observations about the antics of the pro-taser folks. There are enough examples of unethical behaviour by some of those pro-taser folks to make a good Micheal Moore movie.
Check out the childish, amateurish and plainly stupid ballot box stuffing for the poll I'm running. Was this the very same person that recently testified in Vancouver? Or just a name search AND location coincidence? Even now, I'm tracking the Internet echoes from that incident. It's fascinating.
The postmortem test for V.F. is potentially critical. It's been around since at least 1999. It should be SOP for all taser-associated deaths. And plaintiff lawyers should demand it. And those that fail to perform it should be called to account.
